Color was added after the signal spacing was established, nothing was changed but color.
Interlacing makes the receiver requirements cheaper. Vertical scan was already driven at over 1MHz. High power is required to move the vertical scan, high power + fast = expensive..
How many other 1930 technologies are still one the air? AM radio occupies a spectrum that's inhibitory difficult for any other use, and TV is left as the only other wagon wheel left running. There was great work done, but conservation was not one of them.
As for the argument of scarcity of alternatives, I also live in rural, podunk, Kentucky. Rural programing sucks. It's prohibitively expensive to transmit with enough power to spread TV across the country. I get three channels, all big media, and one that even with the help of ### large broadcaster, can not find means to stay on the air. There is currently two satellite tv providers with some scarce FTA working outside the bounds of general broadcast. If you wish to lobby for channels, please, consider lobbying for FTA.
Radio is public property, allocated for what would hopefully be the better good for all. TV is helping a minority while claiming a majority of resources. Wagon wheels where here before cars, but I don't dare impose 15mph to oncoming traffic, racing down the interstate. If technology give means to better utilize resources, you're an asshole for slowing down the rest of us. Anything would be better.
When TV started it grabbed a large chunk of the sweat spot between realistic antenna size and signal that'll pass through trees, walls, over small hills. Two low of a freq and the antenna has to match, low freq big antenna, high freq and doesn't pass through anything. So for a realistic link across either rural nothing and trees, or urban towers and noise, tv hold's about half of all desirable frequencies. While I wait to see how this range will be managed, anything is better than handing over half the realistically usable space to TV stations than only utilize a small percent of the spectrum in what was one of the most wasteful methods possible.
Analog TV did nothing to try and reduce space occupied. Signal was only modulated in means that would allow transmission, no filtering, sync required spikes in size, nothing but waste.
This is a huge amount of bandwidth that can be used. Each TV channel occupies 10mHz and with the simplest of digital encodings, bpsk, enables 10mBPS. BPSK routinely is used withing a few percent of theoretical minimal power to achieve reception. By transiting more than merely two types of signals, with slight power requirement increase, typical equipment transmits 16, 32, or 64 signal variations. Within just on TV channels space 640mBPS. It's a joke that this hadn't been done sooner.
Nope, don't play Xbox, just borrow on one the weekends. There's not any way I'm paying for all the crap that comes with xbl. I will though borrow one, just to piss in MS's playground.

$300 dollars for a Dewalt? Why?
You're buying by name alone and it's not quality. Dewalt was bought by Black-n-Decker, the whole line has been in the crapper ever since. So yes, you're the problem, buying overpriced by name alone, just cause everyone else was.
Thank you grammar nazi, I can work up an intelligent response, sitting here in Kentucky. We're not all idiots, but no one here "speaks pretty".
Regardless C#, or any high level language would be more work to write an efficient database back end. The language does not offer it's Garbage Collector to parse the harddrive, it would have to be written. Can you easily tell the difference between a 48bit pointer, 32bit pointer and 64bit pointer in a higher language? It could be advantageous to write a parser in a higher level language, ect SQL. As long as it's backed by a drive with penalties for making writes not on block boundaries, counting bits is a trip to the reference books each time for most languages higher than C/C++.
Of course we should use high level, abstracted, list for everything. That's why all database's are wrote in JavaScript, oh wait they aren't. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSQL, all wrote in either C or CPP, I don't know for MS??
High level give you less control over the details, at at managing the LSE, every detail counts.
Array's are best used for unchanging values that are referenced often with expensive updates. Yes, memory management is expensive, doublely so if it also includes a memory copy.
Claiming to be in the CIA, who as seen a CIA badge? It's the most generic, none-descriptive, fake looking badge of any part of government, I've ever seen. The guy sweeping the floor has a fancier badge embroidered on his shirt, right next to his name badge. It's only be funnier if he was actually a fired agent.
Ethics is a word for those that have no morals. "These men did spend time on developing it for a new platform and should be able to be paid for their efforts, assuming the market wants their product." What about those who made it in the first place they wanted to share with the world for free. You should keep their spirit in mind and either release it for free or not do it, and if you don't like it make your own game not charge for someone else's work.
Perhaps it doesn't need three tiers, but two would still alleviate real times problems. No, you can't just do router magic tricks on the customers end line, nothing there will affect their incoming traffic, it has to be done at the ISP. X (a much smaller percentage) of realtime bandwidth, and Y (all the rest of it). Customers wouldn't have to configure shit, Skype, Broadvoice and YouTube, etc.. would have to mark TOS on they're outbound. Customers would only have to be informed if they've asked to too much realtime data, opps you've ran out this month, prepare for shitty phone service. We wouldn't guarantee voip service unless the customer had one of our T1's or DSL so that we could throttle non-realtime bandwidth. For Comcast to play fair, they would have to honor other real-time providers QOS settings. Now if the customer "ask" for a bunch of crap off of a misconfigured service, it's there fault they run out of real-time. Two tier bandwidth would be a god-sent.
Magnavox tb100mw9.
Quick run down, now has voided warranty,
power supply contains painted traces, no good.
analog tv side is surprisingly well labeled, agc, sub-chan, aud-in, aud-out, agnd, vmute, etc etc.
rf is standard sealed unit, well labeled, all pins.
digital board is disappointing, unknown chips, strange "firmware load cable", an assumption and really small traces, wizard soldering skill only need apply. Possible to attache 30g wire to every other pin, does have unmarked breakout's though.
All and all the analog side is quite hackable, I think I'll add an s-vid and spdif jack to mine. One of our local channels was at least attempting to broadcast music on a sub-channel (is that the new term for it?).
Hope this is helpful.
Do you do any real work with it? Coherent I/O is a bitch. What libraries are thread safe, re-entente, what dumbass hide a static global on line 52582? I was looking forward to a tag in the language that didn't just perhaps mark whether or not things a const, c and hence c++ do a good job at that. More that the language would make what functions where state-less, visible. There's something I need a tutorial for, how to add a "stateless" function modifier for inclusion on the next c/c++ standard. I'm not usually writing this stuff, just know enough to patch things on occasion. "stateless" would be a god sent modifier.
Apparently there isn't a magic fix for this. On a new found whim, I'd decided to look back into functional programing, since perhaps it would better utilize my multi-core machine. You know what I found out, parallel programing is hard. Ocaml, or at least the version I have a build script for, has a race condition in the parallel, make build. Trying to install a language that might do multi-tasking, breaks multi-tasking on install. I give up and go back to reading up on mutex's and trying to wrap my mind around debugging threads.
firmware, whether loaded from disk or from chip still must run on the os if it isn't run solely on an internal processor. Atheros cards and Nvidia have native code blobbed together in order to interface with the hardware. I haven't seen an internal/micro firmware since usr swapped to winmodems. Firmware was on chip and contained a micro to run it. The native machine only had to give it bytes through a known/open interface, the comm port. Just because it runs off a chip doesn't mean it doesn't contain native code. If it contains it's own bios screen, or muddles with an unknown interface, I don't think it belongs in an open platform. If openbios can't support it, it isn't open.
Atheros originally only lessened the issue releasing blobs for almost any platform dreamed up.
Today a proper walltime clock, without display pulls nano-watts. Check mouser.com, they're cheapish and some have there own charging circuit/battery combo. It's not that the manufacturers are adding useless frills, it that they don't care on implementation. Cheapest always win if you can't see the difference on the store shelf. I've worked in TV repair shops and so few devices cut anything but the highest power circuits while going into standby, most vcrs and dvd players seem to just cut the display if anything. With switchmode supplys at least they pull less power with the motors off, but only accidentally.
It's a shift in content. Back in days of yor, anyone with a meager budget or some artistic ability could max out the console's video system. In the last five years there's been a real push towards adding as many eye catching extras in game as possible. While the newer games are more interesting to watch, older games forced producers to create content. Who today would build a game watching a plumber bend over to eat mushrooms, now in "High Def". They where strange, unique and had simplicity that seems lost in modern games. I hope flat-land gaming lives on past the nostalgia.
Yes, zombie salamanders are running a muck in our national forest, we must act quickly to stop their plans to accelerate Global Warming. No, I didn't read the article.
I would have competed but I had an error in the firmware for the lander, meters converted to feet. Now I just have a crater in my back yard. Perhaps NASA doesn't need the help.
I wish Transmeta was still in business so someone larger could sue. Even a standard pc has some emulation running if the pci bios handles things to spec. Couldn't any hardware including a firmware/bios be technically defined as emulating another interface? I could even define the lookback interface that comes with windows as virtual.
Do they ship out bios upgrades with WinFlash in a InstallSheild compressed windows installer? Do they expect you to run 'super wonder system check' in windows before they believe that you have a real hardware problem? I believe they still do, so this is all a joke.
